Testimonials

 

Outstanding

“Our trip with Shaun and Exclusive Adventures was outstanding. We were really impressed by the hospitality and friendliness of Shaun and the staff. The lodge was spectacular and very comfortable, with incredible meals. In addition, the setting was beautiful with the river in front and the mountains beyond. My wife and son, when they were not hunting with me, were able to see other parts of the country as Shaun made arrangements for guides and transportation. The hunting was great and the helicopter rides were a real “trip”. Shaun also provided great advice for us after the hunt for our own sightseeing excursion. I highly recommend Exclusive Adventures.”

Trip of a Lifetime

“The Groves family absolutely had the “trip-of-a-lifetime".  We could not have asked for better accommodations, and Jules the Hostess, was unbelievable!  We would highly recommend NZ as a destination for hunters and their family members…the highlight being Shaun Allison of Exclusive Adventures.  So nice to have an Outfitter that has first class equipment with his primary emphasis being, to make sure everybody in the group is entertained all day everyday.  Shaun is a Professional who “says what he does and does what he says”!  We have been recommending EA to all our friends back in Wyoming.”

First-Class Operation

“Just a note to say how much Pam and I enjoyed the total experience of the past week; the time spent the week before the hunt was amazing and getting to share a few days with your staff and learning a little about them was just icing on the cake. You run a first class operation and have a great staff. Hunting with Gordy and Euee (not sure on the spelling) was totally fun, what a knowledgeable and enjoyable pair to be around. Please extend to everyone involved our most sincere  thanks for a great week. Best of luck to everyone in your future endeavors and hopefully we will get to do this again.”

Greatest Hunting Trip of My Life

Attention to Detail

“My adventure to New Zealand was incredible.  You live in one of the most beautiful countries in the world and we were so glad we were able to see it with you.  It had always been a dream of mine to visit New Zealand, but we could never seem to set a firm date.  My winning the Kuiu prize and your hunting donation gave us the impetus to finalize the journey.

Our hunts of Tahr, Chamois and Red Deer were amazing.  Not just the animals, but the spectacular scenery as well.  Your personal assistance and care in helping me achieve all three trophies was over and above anything I could imagine.  Now if I can be patient for the taxidermy.  I know just where I want them placed in our gallery.

Your lodge was very comfortable and well located just outside Wanaka.  The view of the valley below was especially nice at sunset.  Please give my best to Sally and Vanessa, who cooked wonderful meals and drove us around as well.

Our helicopter tour of the mountains, glacier and ocean was the icing to the end of our hunts.  Such dramatic and majestic views from above!  A walk on a glacier, an amazing lunch with fresh lobster and abalone (paua) in the middle of a rainforest, and finally a cocktail with glacier ice near a mountain lake. Another amazing day!

Your attention to detail in all aspects, shows me how passionate you are in giving your clients the best of New Zealand hunting.  I hope you continue to be successful in this quest and your association with Kuiu continues as well.

Thank you again for your encouragement and friendship during our visit to your home.  It is a journey I will never forget.”
